COOLANT

Note

The

permanent
anti

freeze

coolant
is
an

ethylene
glya
l
base

product

containing
chemical
in

hibitors
to

protect
the

cooling

system
from

rusting
and
corrosion

The
anti

freeze
does
not
cOntain

any
glycerine
or

ethyl
alcohol
It

will
not

evaporate
or
boil
a

ay
and

can
be

ilsed
with
either

high
or
low

temperature
thermostats
It

flows

freely
transfers
heat

efficiently

and
will
not

clog
the

passages
in

the

cooling

system
The
anti
freeze

must
not
be
mixed

with
other

product
This
coolant
can
be
used

throughout
the
seasons
of
the

year

Whenever
coolant
is

changed
the

cooling

system
must
be
flushed
and

refilled
with
a
new
coolant
Check
the

coolant
level

Tem
coupling
is

a

type
of
fan

coupling
which
is

provided
with
a

temperature
control

system

The
conventional

coupling
always

slips
the
fan
at

a

high

speed
under
a

constant

ratio

regardless
of
the

engine

cooling

requirement

The

slipping
ratio
of
the
Tem

coupling
however
is

properly
changed

with
the

cooling
requirement

ON
denotes
that

cooling

required
and
the
fan

The
coiled
bimetal
thermostat

installed
on
the
front

portion
of

the

detects

temperature

The

and
the

is

opened

closed
as

and
thus

the

control
is

performed

When
the
air

rises

the

bimetal
is

expanded
and
the

is

opened
silicone
